“What… What did you say?!” Vera’s casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Pu’er Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?! Charlie couldn't believe Vera’s statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process. People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older. As one’s cultivation deepened, one’s lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should

Charlie subconsciously asked Vera, “Did you paint this painting?”Vera nodded and said, “I painted this a few days ago. I painted it especially for you, Young Master.”Charlie could not help but feel amazed. He never expected Vera to have such extraordinary painting skills. Just a while ago, his father-in-law had mentioned an art exhibition organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he was struggling to find good works. If Charlie brought this painting there, it might cause a sensation among landscape painters nationwide!Vera suddenly grabbed Charlie’s right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with his. She then said with an expectant expression, “Young Master, dare I suggest taking you to witness its appearance three hundred years ago with your own eyes?”With that said, the ring, which had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Vera’s words and released a bit of Reiki directly toward both of their minds.In the next moment,

When Vera’s figure disappeared on a mountaintop, Charlie’s awareness instantly returned from the deep mountains of southern Yorkshire Hill to reality.The moment he opened his eyes, he fully believed Vera’s words. He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until now. At this moment, he finally realized why he had always felt that Vera was extraordinary but could never quite grasp what the issue was.At seventeen or eighteen, she was proficient in the near-divine art of divination that even someone like Chandler couldn't master at a hundred years old.At seventeen or eighteen, she was relentlessly pursued by the Qing Eliminating Society. If the Qing Eliminating Society had been hunting her down for five years, wouldn't she have been engaging in a battle of wits with them since she was twelve years old?Similarly, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she mysteriously appeared in Aurous Hill shortly after parting ways with him in Northern Europe, appearing befor

Vera chuckled, folded her hands gracefully at one side of her waist, and bowed slightly to Charlie. She said respectfully, “Young Master, you don’t need to address me so respectfully. You can just call me Vera.” Charlie said earnestly, “No, you're almost four hundred years old, so I should address you as my elder…”Vera smiled and said seriously, “In my point of view, I'm just a girl who hasn’t grown up, not an immortal old witch. Although I have indeed lived for nearly four hundred years, I still feel as if I’m just seventeen years old…”“Well…” Charlie found himself in an awkward situation, with two conflicting voices arguing in his mind.One voice said, “She's right. Even though she's lived for almost four hundred years, she has always been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.”The other voice argued, “But she's almost four hundred years old! What does four hundred years mean?! You haven't even reached thirty years old this year!”Charlie was afraid of being tangled up in t

“I hastily settled my father down temporarily, and he gave me an unknown pill, instructing me to take it obediently without asking any questions.” “I didn't know the effects of this pill, but I couldn't defy my father's orders. So, I took the pill. After taking it, my father told me what pill it was and its effects.”As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she said in a soft voice, “As for why my father didn't take it himself but gave me the Eternal Pill, it was because he said he didn't want to witness the day when he, as a father, had to watch me grow old and slowly die before him. My father also said that if there was a pill that allowed a father to live on, watching his daughter gradually age and die, that pill is not an elixir but a poison.”“My father said he had to die before me to be at peace, and since I was still young, unmarried, and had no worries, after taking the Eternal Pill, I could live well for five hundred years.”Charlie suddenly thought of something and blurted o

When he heard the name ‘Fleur Wiley’, Charlie widened his eyes in shock and asked, “The leader of the Qing Eliminating Society is a woman?”Vera nodded, clenched her teeth, and said, “She’s not only a woman, but she’s the most ruthless woman in the world!”Charlie asked in surprise, “If she’s your father’s sworn brother’s sister, doesn’t that mean that she has also lived for three to four hundred years as well?”Vera pondered for a moment and said, “Fleur is one year younger than my father, and she’s twenty-three years older than me. She is already four hundred years old now.”Charlie said, “She should have taken the Eternal Pill as well, right?”“Of course,” Vera said emotionally, “The Eternal Pill was given to my father and Fleur by their master. He originally left one pill to each of them, hoping they could continue the cause of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. In addition to one Eternal Pill each, their master also entrusted the ring on your hand to my father for safekeeping. Wh

“In the following two years, my father and Fleur recruited some determined patriots who aimed to restore our country. They continuously engaged in battles with the Qing army, but due to their limited strength, they couldn't alter the Qing army's gradual unification.”“In the year 1662, the notorious traitor, Sanguine, killed the king in Yorkshire Hill. My father was filled with sorrow and was extremely aggrieved. He joined forces with Fleur and led the righteous men from the Qing Eliminating Society to assassinate Sanguine. Unfortunately, their mission failed.”“My father and Fleur were pursued by tens of thousands of troops from the Qing army, and with the inland regions already under the Qing army’s control, they decided to flee to Taiwan to seek refuge there in order to continue resisting the Qing army. Unexpectedly, shortly after their departure, news arrived that the Taiwan leader had suddenly passed away. With no other options, they returned to Mount Tason, seeking their master

Vera was startled by the name blurted out by Charlie. Charlie was the one who had been constantly surprised tonight, while she remained calm from the beginning to the end even though she was a little sad when she spoke of her late father. However, when Charlie mentioned the three words ‘Marcius Stark’, Vera was suddenly extremely shocked!She instinctively exclaimed, “How did you know of the master’s real name?! It has been more than three hundred years since he passed away, and he had been cultivating in seclusion on Mount Tason during the thousand years when he was alive. Very few people knew about him even when he was alive…” Charlie couldn't help but sigh and say, “Marcius Stark, whose name was originally Martin, was born in Coleham. After cultivating, he was called the Longevity Master and renamed himself Marcius Stark.”Vera was even more shocked, “Young Master, how did you know so much about my father’s master? My father once said that his master focused almost entirely on

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
